"located in a private nature reserve, no fences. Excellent food and very friendly owners. Getting in and out the nature reserve is a bit awkward due to long interrogation procedures at the gate."
"3 dias de Safari:
- Vimos os “big 5” e tantos outros animais tão lindos
- Esses dias estão entre os melhores que já vivi, sem dúvida. Foi uma experiência inesquecível!
Eu teria ficado 5 ou 6 dias para aproveitar mais um pouco o lugar. Que detox perfeito!
A equipe do Nyala é muito amável e caprichosa em todos os detalhes. A localização nos permitia a visita de elefantes, macacos e impalas de dia; a noite, muitos sons eram ouvidos e arriscávamos palpites do quarto.

"We had high expectations before going, but reality was much better than that. Highlight to the team of the lodge, that all go the extra mile to make your experience better. There are just a few rooms, so you can make sure you will have a personalized treatment. The meals are great and they have the special care when someone has any restrictions (e.g. my mother was a vegetarian and they prepared a special meal for her everyday). They will help you booking many different activities so that you can...
"Hermoso hotel, en medio de la naturaleza, con un staff de primera que creo que es su mejor característica. Recomendado para pasar unos días de tranquilidad, en la pileta, comiendo muy bien."
"Chisomo was fantastic. The manager Steven (or Stephen?) was wonderful and ever present. Food was great and plentiful. Rooms were everything you’d want. The property - pool, walkways, dining area - were all very well maintained. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. All the activities were very well-executed and planned. Drivers/guides/trackers were wonderful (knowledgeable, friendly, professional, etc.). Highly recommended. "
"Wow, what can you say about this place - it's just amazing. We were expecting quite a lot from our safari, but this exceeded it, by a mile...
As you only go on safari to actually go deep in the bush, we can certainly say that this achieved our goal and more - the Ranger and Tracker working here, Peter and Sandy, are very, very, very good at what they do. We got the see all big 5 in our first 2 safaris, and went on to see them again and again... They made it a point that we get to see each one up...

"Essa foi a pior hospedagem olhando custo benefício das nossas vidas. O custo foi em torno de 1000 dólares a diária, esperávamos algo incrível! Uma pena…. O all inclusive é igual a uma pensão completa, o quarto super antigo, nosso game driver terminou 30 minutos antes. Nos deram um papel com horários e uma mensagem no WhatsApp, nenhum tinha a mesma informação, o que nos fez perder o café.
Estamos 100% descontentes e insatisfeitos com oque recebemos pelo o que foi pago."
"This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. A graduation trip including myself, my husband, and our 3 teenage daughters. I highly recommend the Ezulwini River Lodge for a safari vacation. The staff was fabulous, food and accommodations were 5 star, and the safari drives and animal encounters were amazing. I am recommending this trip for anyone interested in a South African safari. Planning was seamless and every want or need was met. The entire stay surpassed my expectations in every way."
"5 Stars – An Unforgettable Stay at Sunbird Oasis Lodge
We had the most incredible experience at Sunbird Oasis Lodge! From the moment we arrived, Tommy and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warmth, friendliness, and professionalism were truly exceptional.
The facilities were absolutely amazing – beautifully maintained, with thoughtful touches that made our stay both relaxing and memorable. Our accommodation was wonderful: clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a peaceful getaway.
Whether you’re looking for tranquility or a base for adventure, Sunbird Oasis Lodge delivers on every level. A heartfelt thank you to Tommy and the entire team – your hospitality made all the difference. We can’t wait to return!"
"The Pondoro experience is first class from beginning to end! The location is stunning and we watched hippo, crocs, giraffe, elephants and all sorts from our room. The games drives led by the wonderful Shadlack and Dion were breathtaking, with the big 5 and all manner of wildlife seen on multiple occasions. They also hosted a river walk which showed us how they look for tracks and gave a very different perspective to the hippos and crocs! All the staff at the lodge are fantastic, there is a warm welcome every day and a real personal touch with attention to details that makes each day special. The food is exceptional and would definitely recommend the lunchtime picnic if you get the opportunity."
"The premises is very nice, very clean and comfortable. The self catering unit was well equipped with everything you may need for self catering. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Loved the communication and flexibility I got when still planning the trip and the efforts made to make our birthday special.
The only thing I didn’t not like was the rudeness from the lady that woke us up for breakfast on our last morning, she was very rude about how we must be at breakfast by 08:00 ( which o think of breakfast is between 08:00 and 10:00 then guests should have the flexibility between those times). The girl banged the door and rudely communicated how we need to be there at 08:00. She needs general customer service communication training as all my encounters with her were not pleasant. The rest of the staff was amazing. "
"The Best Experience Ever!
We Felt Like Royalty!
AM Lodge totally blew us away. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly special.
The place itself is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms are super comfortable, beautifully designed, and tucked away in nature, which made it feel really peaceful and private.
The safari was amazing!!
It was personalized just for us, and our guides Sbu and Benjamin were so knowledgeable and fun. We got to see so many animals up close, and experienced some amazing sunrises and incredible sunsets.
After the safari, we treated ourselves to a massage at the spa, and wow… it was heavenly. Super relaxing and exactly what we needed.
The food deserves a huge shout-out too. Chef Anna is incredible! Every meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Honestly, some of the best food we’ve ever had while traveling.
But the real star of the show was the service. Raydene and every single member of the team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable. We’ve stayed in some great places before, but this was next level.
If you’re thinking about booking a stay here…. do it. It’s worth every penny. We’ll never forget this experience!"
"Everything at Nyati Safari Lodge was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spotless and incredibly comfortable – ours was located right in front of the river, and on the very first day we had elephants, crocodiles, and other wildlife right in front of us. It was like living in a nature documentary!
The meals and drinks were delicious! The entire staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome and taken care of every step of the way.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the game drives. Kenneth, Peter, Pride, and Freja went above and beyond, always asking which animals we wanted to see and doing everything they could to make it happen. Each game drive ended with either a morning coffee or a sunset drink, always paired with a breathtaking view of the reserve.
I truly can’t wait to go back!"
